We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Do you or anyone you know have a tablet? Far better for people who struggle with tech. Large buttons etc.
Probably a fear that instead of it reducing public transport use, it'll just be seen as an invite for more to drive in to the centre.
True. But at least some exemption for key workers should be made.
I know two people in large offices who are still going in and will continue to go in ("it's business as usual for us") because it's nowhere near clear if their offices are essential. It's housing and letting stuff. IMO, absolutely not essential or can at least mostly be done from home. But the government haven't said anything explicit, sooo. To make it worse, one of them firmly believes the whole thing is overblown and that she doesn't NEED to be careful or avoid the office.
It's fascinating that people are still trying to rewrite history because if you look at the official data you can see the exact day the government panicked and change their policy on testing
They honestly thought they could get away with doing nothing and just riding it out
Also needs proper implementation on the card reader end. Yeah you can tap with Apply Pay at Stonehenge, but it's still under the £30 limit
This was a curveball even for an Apple employee I served once
Fuck the fuck off Mike Ashley
Coronavirus: Sports Direct U-turns on opening after backlash
Retailer says it will not open its shops "until we are given the go-ahead by the government".www.bbc.co.uk
Gove has already told Ashley to sit down:

As a teacher, being of the same opinion as Michael Gove is against everything I believe in. These truly are the end times.
Gove clarifies restrictions, childcare for children moving between two homes
thanks for this- I'm just going to paste the clarifications here as they become harder to find as the blog moves on. I know some wanted info on childcare for kids moving between two homes.
Guardian live blog:
I expect military and police on streets soon due to this, letting only a handful info trains.
This is pretty much the entire reason we've never seen infection rates go above 1k/day, and instead hover about 6/700 a day.
Unfortunately, the only real measure of spread right now is the death rate, and that lags behind the reality by something like 5wks.

I feel like a letter to the PM is just a way of staying open for an extra day under plausible deniability as they wait for an official reply from offices inundated with obvious other things to worry about on top of retailers taking the piss. I wouldn't even dignify it with a response of greater than 'no'.
Ours is here in Northern Ireland, today in fact. Just earlier, they have to be out at 6am or the evening before, and you must left them before the bin men arrive or they wouldnt accept it.
Depends on your local council- some have changed the schedule, others are running as normal. Should be a page on their website somewhere, otherwise give them a ring.
If I go to the park for a kick about with my football mad 7 year old and make sure nobody else comes near us, will that be okay? The park is only 3 minutes walk and fairly large
i posted that the NHS couldnt do any testing in this forum days ago - they asked uni's to help by borrowing reagents and equipment, then decided they couldnt use the equipment as they have no experience.
Mine has been this morning!
But I forgot to put it out because I'm a cretinous individual.
just had rubbish collected this morning. Can't imagine they'd stop that.
Should be fine, 2 people from the same household poses no concerns under these guidelines.
All we can do is interpret it, but I'd say that seems fine if it's only round the corner and for half hour or so? Not everyone has a garden so I expect there's a little leeway on this as long as you're careful around others and not taking the piss?
Problem they have is that if they get too specific selfish tossers will find loopholes.
The account has been suspended, so this might have been fake?
Mum, I know you said I'm grounded, but I'm going out with my friends tomorrow as it's vital for my wellbeing. I know it's after midnight and by the time you wake up and see this note I'll already be out, but please provide confirmation of whether I should go out with my friends.
dunno why I didn't think of that. Running as intended. These people need more money during this time.
remember to clean the handles of your bin before collection, and after
Out garden waste has stopped but as refuse collectors are key workers I don't think normal collections will end.
My hands are ruined with the amount of washing I've been doing. Even the moisturiser can't keep up.
Just got back from Sainsbury's. Luckily it looks like the announcement didn't set off mass panic buying, the shop was busier than on a normal morning(I imagine) but still quiet and everyone kept their distance. Managed to get milk, bread, fresh meat, fruit.
Just no tins of food really.

My landlord chose the worst time ever to do repairs on the roof. Builders turned up yesterday and tore our roof off, so they're back for the rest of the week to finish the job as they obviously can't leave the roof with a hole in during a lockdown.
Loud banging and drilling all fucking morning before 9am while I'm trying to work and drown them out with my headphones. Can't even go elsewhere to work because of the lockdown. Doesn't help I had a terrible night's sleep anyway. I'm gonna fucking stab someone at this rate.

they're absolutely every single company you already guessed was scummy
Cool, I thought it was locked, someone said so.
Can you please stay away from the Kingston Hill side, I need my space.
Sports Direct is closing at last:

And whoever started that snitching phone line rumour, any source on that as I can't find a damned thing!

Ehh, I work for a company that is pretty badly regarded online but they're taking care of their employees. Everyone is WFH and the ones who can't are being paid to sit at home, including really recent hires.
Too true. Take your comedically large mugs and fuck right off
FYI, here are the UK tests conducted per day (since I bothered to record them). There are from comparing the differences between the UK Gov daily briefings.
They increased about a week ago from around 1500/day to around 5000/day.
They are a miles away from the widespread testing that other countries are doing, and that the WHO have been calling for for over a month.
Sending their appeal to companies with PCR equipment yesterday is just staggeringly incompetent.
Boris going on live TV and calling for people to order food online was "stupid evil alignment" levels of dumb.
It is known that online deliveries can cope with <10% of our household food requirements.
Sainsbury's and others have been furiously checking their customer databases and re-jigging their software to indentify and prioritise the elderly and other vulnerable people.
So this dumb motherfucker tells everyone to do it and just floods the system to the extent that all the apps/websites crash or go unresponsive.
